No Matter The Odds: Equine Rescue and Rehabilitation Center

10/02/2023

It's been awhile since we updated everyone on what's going on. We have been very busy fixing things on the property. Here are some of the projects we have been working on:
-building a mini barn
-perfecting our solar powered watering system
-building an arena
-repairing our driveway, again and again
-fixing up a tractor
-repairing our main tow truck

I have had several people message me asking about the status of our rescue. We are currently on hold while we fix everything on the property. Our projects to make it livable and safe for us and our animals have been costly and very time consuming. Furthermore, Valentina has been battling a bad infection in her leg going on 4 months now. She is currently at Texas A&M being treated. I am in my last semester of Law School and soon will be studying for the Bar Exam. With all of this going on, we have not been accepting new rescues and will not be for at least another 8 months. When the time comes we take on any new animals, it will be one at a time. I appreciate everyone reaching out asking if we can help rescue horses they have found, but are simply up to our eyeballs in repairs right now. We never imagined our property would turn out to be so difficult, but it is what it is. Thank you for being patient.

Today everyone was dewormed and got some carrots as rewards! This weekend I am going to pick up halter training/farrier training.

Boy have we had a busy month! We officially moved to our property this past weekend! Everyone is adjusting very well and loving their new pastures.

Check out Olive’s new coat coming in! Look how shiny and healthy! Gus Gus is getting some long legs and growing like a w**d! Winnie is moving around a lot better since we changed her feed, and Maribel, too, is moving around nicely since we started trimming her in shorter intervals. I cannot wait to get these guys home where we can really dive into their care!

Our water well is scheduled to go in next week and then we move! Let’s pray everything goes accordingly!

We have been busy at work getting our property ready. We now have all the sides up for our fence. We just have to add gates and tposts. Next step is temporary shelters for shade. If you'd like to help our donkeys out, we could sure use some water-trough donations! We had a tiktok follower recommend an awesome temporary shelter idea to us, so if you would like to donate one of those as well, the link is below. We only need one for the donkeys!

We will be building a more permanent structure before the cold weather arrives but for now, we are more concerned about getting them moved out there and having access to shade. As always, thank you for your support!

Have some not-so-fun news. We have had some crazy stuff going on in our personal lives, so I had to rearrange my schedule. Unfortunately, the Donkey Baby shower is having to go on hold for now.

Thanks for understanding!

Olive says thank you for her yummy dinner💕

One of the games we will play at our Donkey Baby Shower is Bingo! Every time we have a winner, we gift a donkey with a yummy surprise! Click the link to find our bingo card. I will call out the spaces live on facebook. To claim your bingo win, post a picture of your Bingo in the comments.

We will also be playing the price is right-- barn edition! I'll share the name of something common us Farm animal/equestrians buy regularly and the first person to guess closest to the price gets a point. At the end of the game, the person with the highest number of points gets to choose which donkey will be the receiver of a yummy surprise!

Lastly, we are going to bet on whether it's a boy or a girl! We know this one isn't as exciting as there won't be a winner until Ms. Winnie delivers her baby, but it'll lead to a fun gender reveal!

We aren't offering prizes to participants this go round or asking for any $$ to play. We have a registry (shared below) we would rather place our focus on. Feel free to play for fun; shopping our registry is not required, only appreciated. Thank you!

Stay tuned for our registry! Winnie needs several supplies to make her comfortable while we wait for her baby. She has developed laminitis and is in a lot of pain moving around, so we have to get a stall set up for her.

We’ll be doing a Facebook live with some games you’ll be able to live interact with! Please give us a share!

What a day!!!!! Sallie managed to trim Winnie!!! This is a huge win! We’ve been trying since February to trim Winnie and couldn’t even manage it with sedation. Today, with a bucket of food and love, Sallie got her trimmed🥹💕

Small acts of kindness go a long way😊 we were low on feed for our donkeys and with the month we’ve had at the barn, this was a welcomed surprise! A supporter from Tiktok sent us some TSC giftcards🥹🥰
We also received some Gofundme donations from Tiktok supporters, too. Thank you for sharing our story! We are finally reaching the hearts of those who are willing and able to help💕

We have some great news. Recently, we learned our water well is scheduled to be installed around the beginning/middle of July. We cannot wait to finally move to our new home and get everyone set up with the care I have dreamed about for years! If you would like to help us get to that point sooner, please check out our amazon wish list and/or donate to our GoFundMe. We still have a lot to acquire before pastures are ready for any animals to move home! From a generation donation, we now have buckets but we still need large water troughs for the pastures. We know times are tough, so if you are unable to help us financially, please give us a share to groups and pages you are part of. Our name has been circulating beautifully, so let's keep it up!

Our wish list, GoFundMe, and anything else you wish to learn about our rescue can be found on our website:

We are an equine rescue providing a rehabilitation center to horses in need.

Helping animals in need is such a team effort. I knew these donkeys were going to require a lot of effort when we picked them up, but it quickly became a lot for one person, me. Huge, massive, MASSIVE thank you to for giving everyone a trim AND helping me train them to stand for her. They sure gave us a challenge and I can’t ever express how grateful I am for the help!

IT TAKES A VILLAGE! 💕

Getting ready for another round of hoof trimming!! Huge shout out to their Auntie Sallie for giving me a hand💕

27/05/2022

Good Morning! We have received a couple requests for us to take in rescues. I am so happy our name is getting out there, HOWEVER, our property is not done yet and we have not set up a steady donation stream yet. We have 2 rescue intakes on hold for the time being and that is all we can accept this year (unless we start getting a large amount of donations). So THANK YOU for spreading our name around! Let’s spread our gofundme around too so we CAN increase our intake numbers next year😊

https://gofund.me/87711d02

We also have an amazon wish list of items we need. Feel free to shop that as well.

Everyone has their own bucket now! We are pretty confident the jennies are pregnant so we started them on feed for pregnant mamas.

Starting a new diet today! Access to some hay everyday😊 hoping to see their weights improve.

Our driveway started today!!

I am so happy about today. Andrew came out and helped me get everyone’s feet done!!

Olive, Maribel and Gus Gus got a full pedicure💅🏼

Winnie is still learning how to pick up her feet so today our progress included picking up all four feet, getting some all-in-one spray on her frogs to keep them healthy, and getting medication on all her leg wounds.

It’s certainly a challenge and something that makes me doubt myself all the time but it makes me happy knowing they are taking steps towards a healthy life every day😊

(Please remember their hooves are a huge work in progress. This is not something that can be fixed in one, two, or even three sessions and to do too much at once actually causes them pain.)

Winnie’s legs are finally going the right direction again. I have been aggressively treating them. We are getting better at messing with her legs so my ultimate goal is to be able to wash these and wrap them but we are not to that trust level yet

18/04/2022

We have raised $575! Incredible! Thank you everyone!! We still have 2 days to go! Feel free to share our gofundme as well. Donations are always appreciated:) https://gofund.me/87711d02

I also have an update on Maribel's hooves! As of last night, I finally saw new frog growing in her back hooves! When we were finally able to work on her hooves a few weeks ago, we discovered thrush had eaten away her entire frog on both back feet. I am very happy to see new frog growing in and it looks so good!
